As your muscles call for more oxygen (as much as 15 times more oxygen than when you're at rest), your breathing rate increases. Once the muscles surrounding your lungs cannot move any faster, you've reached what's called your VO2 maxâyour maximum capacity of oxygen use. The higher your VO2 max, the fitter you are.
Tingling in the Fingers as a Symptom of Neck Pain. 1  Numbness or tingling in the fingers that occurs simultaneously with neck pain is a sign of problems with the nerves within the cervical spine. 2  Many conditions can cause problems in the cervical spine, and they can irritate or impede nerves to the hands and fingers.
Numbness of the fingers or hands is often associated with tingling. These symptoms are referred to as paresthesia of the fingers. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves of the extremities that often results in numbness or tingling. Longstanding or uncontrolled diabetes is one of the major causes of peripheral neuropathy. Alcohol abuse is another cause of peripheral neuropathy. A number of conditions are associated with numbness, burning, pain, or tingling of the fingers and hand, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, Raynaud's disease, and vascular diseases.
